Pack master[edit]
Ranger Subclass
A Revised beast master subclass, you are never alone, always followed by your tamed companions, you formed a magical and physical bond with your creatures, and they will follow you to the ends of the realm.
- Alpha of the pack
Starting at 3rd level, you gain the ability to bond with up to a number of creatures equal to half your level, rounded up, and whose total CR cannot go above your level divided by 3, rounded down. When you gain this feature at level 3, you gain a creature you can currently possesses. For future creature, you can tame any creature whose Intelligence is higher than 1 and lower than 5 or is friendly toward you (at the discretion of your DM). To tame a creature, you will need to research and go to where the creature lives, track down the creature and attempt to form a bond with the creature. This will cost you 10g for each day that you attempt to tame the creature, each time you attempt to tame a creature, you make an (Animal Handling check against a DC of 10 + (2 * CR), you can only make a singular attempt each day and you need to succeed a number of time equal to its CR * Intelligence, unless the creature is intelligent and willing, than it's just a number of times equal to its CR. You have advantage on your (Animal Handling check if the creature you're attempting to tame is a baby, and the cost for the attempt is halve if the creature lives in your favored terrain. (A creature will still count as in your favored terrain if it is native or was found in your favored terrain) You can tame more creatures than your maximum would allow, but you can't have them following you during an adventure, as they would be too hard to control. During combat, all your creature of the same race share their initiative.
- Follow my lead!
Startin at 3rd level, you gain the ability to commend your creatures with whistling and hand gestures. As a bonus action, you whistle while pointing at an enemy, signaling to your creature to attack this creature, giving all your creatures an additional d4 to hit, until the end of your next turn.
